“It’s a Gut Punch”: Bradley Beal’s Distressing Injury Worsens 10th Seeded Suns’ Scenario According to 6’10" NBA Star

Phoenix Suns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/] lost to the New York Knicks [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/new-york-knicks/] 139-122. Jalen Brunson’s heroic 50 points dominated the headlines. The Knicks improved their season record to 14-10 with the win. For the Suns, Kevin Durant [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/] led the fight with 29 points. Devin Booker [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/devin-booker/] added 28 points and Jusuf Nurkic tallied 21 points. With the loss, the Phoenix Suns couldn’t help their record deteriorating to 13-12. Besides statistics, records, and the Brunson blitzkrieg, the injured lineup of the Suns is in the discussion again. Bradley Beal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bradley-beal/] hit his heel again and twisted his ankle as he hit DiVincenzo’s foot while landing on the floor. He stayed in the game for some time and even went for a free throw before he left the game agitated. The foul was upgraded to flagrant 1 as the officials reexamined DiVinceenzo’s carelessly stepping under the feet of Beal. Now, his teammate, Drew Eubanks, is not happy. DREW EUBANKS LAMENTS BRADLEY BEAL’S INJURY Commenting on the same the Suns star Drew Eubanks said, “I felt like it kind of took the air out of the arena a little bit just because we just got him back”. He added, “We got off to a pretty decent start offensively and for him to twist his ankle bad, it’s a gut punch. We’ve had to do it the whole year, so we’ve just got to figure it out. I think our problems are bigger than who we don’t have out there. So we just got to shore that up in practice.” It was only the third game for Bradley Beal after missing 12 games in a row. Earlier, he had to battle with lower back issues before the heel injury setback. Bradley’s injury alone is not the cause of worry for Eubanks and Suns fans. THE INJURY WOES OF THE PHOENIX SUNS It was the only second time that Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant played together. The injury list of the Phoenix Suns is long. Ten players missed at least one game this season. Except for Jusuf Nurkic and Jordan Goodwin, all Suns players missed games. Gilgeous-Alexander’s Game: “He’s Really Smart When…” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-twenty-four-yo-thunder-forward-unveils-lesser-known-aspect-of-shai-gilgeous-alexanders-game-hes-really-smart-when-aaron-wiggins/] Injuries did bring the Phoenix Suns to this stage. Is the lady luck not smiling enough on the Suns? Kevin Durant doesn’t believe that. After the game, Durant had these words to dispel the ‘bad luck’ notions [https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nba/suns/2023/12/15/suns-bradley-beal-out-rest-of-knicks-game-with-right-ankle-injury/71940173007/]. Durant said, “That’s a part of it. Brad will be back. Great training staff. We got support behind him. He’ll be back out there but you think we got bad luck? I don’t believe in that.” Watch This Story- Watch LeBron James Sets Up Lakers 7ft Recruit With an Audacious Lob as Anthony Davis Witnesses From the Bench [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/nba-active-basketball-news-watch-lebron-james-sets-up-lakers-7ft-recruit-with-an-audacious-lob-as-anthony-davis-witnesses-from-the-bench/] 

"Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try." - This is my favorite Michael Jordan quote. Here I am, an NBA Editor at EssentiallySports. My first reckoning that I actually like NBA was while watching The Last Dance with my cousins. Being the youngest, I was actually forced to watch it. And I am glad I was; they got me hooked to old Jordan clips online, and that’s how I fell in love with the NBA world. 
Currently I am curled up in my blanket on my couch, hoping that the Warriors win the season. And when I am not watching matches, I am whipping up interesting NBA tales for you to enjoy. Interested to know more about me? Reach out to me on Twitter.

As a child, the appeal of sports was far greater to me than that of bookish learning. What held my fascination then was the art of writing, and it is something that continues to do so. It is that love that led me to pursue a writer’s role at EssentiallySports. The love of Rafael Nadal, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and LeBron James drove me to work in Tennis, UFC, Bodybuilding, and NBA divisions at EssentiallySports. I have produced works about all the greats, including Lionel Messi, Ronaldo Nazario, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson. After doing a few master's degrees in social sciences, I published three books. I have written poetry, fiction, and non-fiction for various newspapers and journals. I have worked as a lecturer and a creative writing expert with an MNC teaching poetry, novels, and filmmaking. Besides writing, editing, and teaching I enjoy playing soccer, training in the gym, and skiing on the slopes of Kashmir. Find me here!
